Simulation of the rheological behavior of enterosorbents in the gastroenteric tract in vitro

The influence of the temperature, pH, and a polymer on the properties and stability of activated coal suspensions serving as nonspecific enterosorbents has been considered. The rheological properties of the small-intestine chyme in vitro and the influence of an enterosorbent on them have been investigated. The advantages of using a water-soluble cellulose polyelectrolyte, as compared to an amylum, for preparation of tableted or grained activated coal are demonstrated. __________ Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 78, No. 5, pp. 147–151, September–October, 2005.
